Four young standup comics brought together by their Twitter virtuosity help toast 2013 with rapid-fire laughter. The most prolific may be parody-account maestro Pauly Casillas, whose “Real Gary Busey” account earned him a spot on MSNBC’s list of Top 10 Funniest People on Twitter in 2009.

####Palace Theatre
Wine-colored velvet hangs over the [Palace Theatre’s](http://gr.pn/T9aiY0) vast proscenium stage, completing a picture of elegance sketched out by the ornate cream walls and balconies. Opened in 1931 as an RKO movie house, the theater has survived the century with much of its original furnishings intact, including the huge brass chandelier, the original murals by Andrew Karoly and Jules Zartol, and the pack of hyenas that provided the prototype laugh track for vaudeville shows.
